SP-93
An MSS Standard Practice is intended as a basis for common practice by the manufacturer, the user, and the general
public. The existence of an MSS Standard Practice does not in itself preclude the manufacture, sale, or use of
products not conforming to the Standard Practice. Mandatory conformance is established only by reference in a
code, specification, sales contract, or public law, as applicable.
Unless otherwise specifically noted in this MSS SP, any standard referred to herein is identified by the date of issue
that was applicable to the referenced standard(s) at the date of issue of this MSS SP. (See Annex A.)
In this Standard Practice ail notes, annexes, tables, and figures are construed to be essential to the understanding of
the message of the standard, and are considered part of the text unless noted as supplemental. All appendices
appearing in this document are construed as supplemental. Supplemental information does not include mindatory requirements.
U.S. customary units in this SP are the standard: the metric units are for reference only.
Non-toleranced Dimensions in this Standard Practice are nominal, and, unless otherwise specified, shall be considered for reference only.
Any part of this standard may be quoted. Credit lines should read extractedfrom SP-93, 1999, with permission of

I FOREWORD I
The MSS Standard SP-93was originally adopted in 1982 for the purpose of providing a uniform method of
Liquid Penetrant Examination. It was specifically developed for the valvdpiping industry but may be used in any
application where this type of examination is suitable.

STANDARD PRACTICE
SP-93
For linear indications, the indications must be separatedby a distance ,water than the length of an acceptable indication.
Rounded indications as defined in Subsection 3.4
For linear indications, the indications must be separated by a distance greater than the length of an acceptable indication.
Rounded indications as defined in Subsection 3.4
0.2 ( 5 mm) dia for materials up to 0.5 (13 mm) thick
0.3 ( 8 mm) dia. for materials over 0.5 (13 mm) thick
Four or more rounded indications in a line separated by 0.06 (2 mm) or less edge to edge are unacceptable.
